I’ve thought about hanging a big fucking scary knife on my plate carrier because it’d look sweet...
But then I realized that if I ever actually need to stick someone with a knife while I’m wearing a plate carrier, there’s at least a 60% chance things have gone horribly wrong for me and the last place I want a big fucking scary knife holstered is in plain view on the top of my PC where any lucky punk can grab it. Eta: I have a Microtech switchblade and several Spyderco folders that’d be up to the task of stabbing a bandit, and they all have a pocket clip that keeps them more concealed and a bit less likely to be taken and used against me. |

I only have a chest rig for now, I picked up a Bastinelli Mako a few years ago. I bought it because I like it but the more I think about it, it might actually make a decent fighting knife. Closest thing to I have to the Toor Serpent I want to get. Those things seem to be nowhere to be found. Also have a benchmade SOCP dagger in an Armatus Carry sheath on my battle belt but I'll probably only keep one or the other.

I just got a Cold Steel SRK recently and it seems solid. Heads up though, it is a thick knife. There's a compact model now that seems much thinner and only a bit shorter. For 35 bucks for the regular and 40 for the tanto version the SRK is hard to pass up. I really want to handle this thing but you're looking at a lot more money-
https://theknifeconnection.com/architect-knife-builder-field-buddy-5-5/ If a folding knife is fine, instead of a Recon 1 you might try an Ultimate Hunter. The Recons have that kind of handle that either fits you or makes you want to throw it into a tree. The UH looks much more neutral. I keep wanting to pick one up as a carry knife but I have a hard time carrying anything but an Alox SAK anymore. |

If you're planning to be frantically stabbing someone at hand-to-hand ranges in a fight to the death, why are you all posting knives with either no guard or a guard so tiny that you can expect your hand to slip right past it? The surplus bayonet a few posts up is the first knife posted with an effective guard. The bayonet was designed around the requirement of "effective at killing without slicing the soldier's hand open" while almost all of the rest of the knives posted were designed around "look cool so people buy it on the internet." I'm sure they work great for cutting your barbecue
, but maybe we should be considering something a bit more purpose made if we're talking about putting it on a carrier.I wish someone made a quality reproduction WWI Trench Knife.

Quoted: If you were going to put on a plate carrier and were going to attach a knife to it, what would the knife look like? I'm shopping. Looking at fixed blades, combat knifes. Pictures please. More interested in the knife, not necessarily knowing how you would mount it to the plate carrier, but would be a plus. Gerber Strong Arm. Great price, made in USA, and incredibly functional. Sheathe attaches to molle or a belt. I have one on each set of gear. I like no serrations, but you can get them either way.  Attached File |

I stumbled across it when looking at the mossberg 590a1 spx. But to get the extra utility I guess you’d have to actually carry a gun capable of fitting it. You could always come across a weapon capable of fitting it during combat. Disclaimer: I’m a Fudd Level 2.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I can see the value in this knife. first you have to ask if the knife on your PC is for utility or for getting stabby. if it is for getting stabby, you want something long, thin, pointy, with a handguard to keep your hand from slipping, as poster above noted. for that, it is hard to do better than a surplus M7. |

Any fixed blade will do. Just remember to carry it right in front and advertise it to the world, so they can pull it off your vest and use it against you.
Better yet, I really prefer when guys use the belt clip of a folder to attach it to their molle. Can't go wrong either way. |
